I'm a professional bartender - I bartend for private parties, events, weddings, ragers, bar mitzvahs, whatever you got...
In this blog, I talk about my experiences behind the bar, bartending tips and tricks, great drinks, alcohol reviews and more. ENJOY!

Today I'm going to talk about some of the sweet swag that
BarProducts.com was cool enough to sent me.
But before I start, if you have something that you want me to review- go
ahead and send me some and I’ll be happy to write about it. Game On.

ITEM 1: Sweet Openers

I can’t stress enough that you can NEVER have too many
openers. I spread them all over my house
in different places. You never know when
there will be some kind of emergency and you’ll have to immediately crack a
beer. Also, one way bartenders accessorize
themselves is with their opens, sometimes stuck in a sweatband around their
arm- one of the few opportunities we can try and look awesome because bars
usually make us wear stupid uniforms.

ITEM 2: Versatile Jigger

First, a jigger is like a small measuring cup, but for
booze. I make a lot of drinks at home and
this thing is

pretty cool because it measures a lot of different qualities
(from ½ to 3 ounces in different intervals) in one. This way
I can measure so my drinks at home don’t suck.

ITEM 3: Bumper Stickers

These kind of speak for themselves. I’ll likely to go up on a tip jar. Remember people,
tip your bartenders.

I love Jack. It’s delicious. I’ll drink it on the rocks, out of a flask,
shoot it, put it in my cereal and shower with it.

Not
only is it an awesome drink, it has a lot of history. So I gathered 7 fun facts about this liquid form of awesome. Next time you’re at a bar
and don’t really have anything interesting to say, well, you’re welcome:

You Can Buy Jack by the barrel. For $10,000, you get an entire barrel of Jack,
specially bottled for you. You also get the actual barrel in which it was
matured. That’s 240 bottles worth of Jack, plus the actual barrel that you can
do whatever you want with. That's actually a pretty good deal for my 3 month's supply.

Jack D the man started making his whiskey as a kid. He perfected the “charcoal mellowing” process
by the age of 16, and registered his distillery that same year in 1866. The
Jack Daniel’s Distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the
country. Yes, that's right, he was the most awesome kid ever.

You can buy used Jack Daniels’s barrels because they are only used once. They ship many to other distilleries and
wineries, including to Tabasco too make Tabasco sauce. Oh, what I wouldn’t do to that barrel…

Frank Sinatra used to drink a bottle of Jack every day. I
know what you’re thinking- there’s a name for that. It’s called being a boss. There’s actually a special Sinatra blend called
Sinatra Select that is 90 proof.

The Jack Daniel’s distillery is located in Moore County,
which has been a dry county since 1909. This means that even though they can
make Tennessee Whiskey there, it can’t be sold there. This fact actually kind of sucks but I was a
little desperate for another fact when adding this one.

It’s fucking awesome.

Get you some Jack. And get it delivered to your house in an hour. And get $5 off. Use Drizly:
